Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 2477, also known as the Portable Ultrasound Medicare Coverage Act, aims to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to include coverage of portable ultrasound transportation and set up services under the Medicare program.

The bill seeks to expand Medicare coverage to include portable ultrasound services, which are currently not covered under the program. Portable ultrasound technology allows for medical professionals to conduct diagnostic imaging tests outside of traditional medical settings, such as in patients' homes or in remote areas where access to medical facilities may be limited.

By including coverage for portable ultrasound transportation and set up services, the bill aims to improve access to diagnostic imaging for Medicare beneficiaries, particularly those who may have difficulty traveling to medical facilities for tests. This could lead to earlier detection and treatment of medical conditions, ultimately improving health outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries. Overall, the Portable Ultrasound Medicare Coverage Act seeks to modernize Medicare coverage by including portable ultrasound services, ultimately improving access to diagnostic imaging for Medicare beneficiaries.
